    —“The priesthood’s primary function is to minister to the poor and needy (the underclass). The larger the ministry, the greater the influence and power of the priesthood. This creates an incentive to increase the size of the underclass, thus increasing dysgenia.”—Nathan Wiens

  • Q: The propertarian view on lending with interest?

    Mar 5, 2020, 1:25 PM

    —“What would be the propertarian view on lending with interest? Or investment banking?”—

    Interest is necessary for temporal calculation of production, distribution and trade, but not for consumption. All end point interest, meaning consumer credit on capital purchases (durable goods) under fiat money(a fractional share in the economy) is rent seeking (prohibited). Houses, boats, cars, appliances, furniture, clothing etc – anything not entertainment is rent seeking. If we exchange zero interest for accelerated payments we dont disrupt the pricing system (rapidly) but we do rapidly make children affordable. Similarly there appears to be little value in private insurance against catastrophe. Anything that can be calculated with that degree of statistical precision, yet it subject to the creation of rent seeking and hazard in the business side, can be done without the business side as a non-profit treasury run piece of infrastructure.

  • The Wallet Game Is in Both Party’s Interest if You “buy” Within Your Means.

    —“It’s the women who AREN’T looking to be supported who are often the most difficult. For … if they don’t need you for your financial support, that must mean they want you for emotional support. Which is a lot more complicated.”— by Michael Churchill

    Be valuable: sexual, social, economic, political, military market value. This is as easy as (a) stay fit, (b) avoid risks to brain (drugs, alcohol), and fix broken brains (therapy, drugs, psychedelic treatments.) Live within the means of the value you create. Quality women will upgrade for consumption of stimulation at lower emotional, psychological, and compromise cost – men are not fulfilling masculine role for the given variability of woman’s demand for masculine traits. Quality men will upgrade for consumption of femininity at lower emotional, psychological, and compromise cost, given the invariability of the value of femininity to men. As we age our ability to learn, adapt, and compromise decreases – we demand greater consilience. Successful high school sweethearts from similar backgrounds with similar values working together to raise a family have least risk of divergence of consilience. Two Parent Working Families with Children in School create insufficient shared experience for relationship persistence. Our forecast of future value of one another is poor. Marriages currently operate via trade-ins for this reason. And while the cost of depreciation on a car is high; The cost of depreciation on marriage is far, far higher. This is why we must restore:

    – Bring capital to people not people to capital – Civil Society so we are invested in the commons and one another. – Possibility of single parent income – Reduction or eliminate of 4 year high-debt education for all but extreme (outlier) cases. – Physical, emotional, and mental fitness by mindfulness training, physical fitness, and P-logic so that we have no deciets over the nature of man and what is possible for man.

  • But Can We Do It?

    Mar 14, 2020, 10:43 AM I tend to stick to definitions, incentives, the law of reciprocity and universal applicability, but this group has put out three statements about women’s pre-conscious behaviors over the past few days that are explanatory, insightful, and terrifying. The question is, can we state those behaviors under the definition of “Mankind”? Yes, I know so. Can we regulate against them in the law? I think so. Can we educate women to control them? I don’t know. And the reason I don’t know is the female bias we seek to train, evolved specifically to resist training. In case that isn’t clear, if you can’t be trained then you aren’t capable of soveriegnty under the natural law. And that has vast and dangerous consequences for ‘equal standing’ and ‘equal application’.

  • There is nothing wrong with emergency helicopter money for the population

    Mar 17, 2020, 4:53 PM There is nothing wrong with emergency helicopter money for the population. what you DON”T want is a worldwide recalculation (meaning rediscoverty) of the pricing structures of production. We don’t think in those terms, but THOSE ARE THE TERMS THAT MATTER. What we haven’t gotten past is the illusion that money is other than promise of time. We will need to nationalize consumer credit and liquidity in order to reverse the distribution of demand upward rather than downward through a banking system that no longer has any value – because money isn’t commodity money any longer. It’s entirely promises.
